when so few other aircraft were allowed to fly.


It was members of two specific families, the House of Saud, and the bin Ladens, who were flown out. Regular Saudis weren't allowed to escape. It is pretty obvious why the members of the House of Saud were allowed to leave. Even if the ruling family hadn't have been friends of the Bushes etc. for decades it was the ruling family.

But the bin Ladens? Just another extraordinarily wealthy family close to power in Saudi Arabia and the US. Except for one member. It looks at the least like Osama bin Laden's involvement was already well understood by those making the decision about who could fly.
